192. Grand Coordinator of the City

Translator: LiamHW

After Lianyue finished explaining the reason, Song Qinghan broke in before Wu Dahu reacted to respond, “I do have some first-rate fabrics here, if you want some to make some clothes for yourself, come with me and pick some for that. They are better than the other brands outside.”

Yet beyond their expectations, Lianyue seemed to be quite with stubborn attitude, and waved his hand violently, “No… No need, thank you for being generous, Mistress. I don’t deserve to use any first-rate fabric myself, please let me go out for some purchases…”

Song Qinghan raised his eyebrows and pointed at the Hualian’s clothes, saying, “Or do you want some fabric like that? Hualian, I remember that you have left some others, right?”

Hualian hurried to nod, and then responded, “Yes, Mistress, I got three pieces left in my room, I was thinking of delivering them out.”

Well, it would be rather unreasonable if he didn’t want a first-rate fabric nor an ordinary one. So Lianyue added, “And I want to purchase something more, something which I should keep close to me, anyway I got a lot to buy…”

Song Qinghan waved his hand and said calmly, “If you know how to write, write me a list. And I will let Hualian to help you purchase. If you don’t know how to write, it will be fine as well, even though Hualian isn’t good at memorizing stuff, Wenxuan is. As long as you are able to inform him what you want, he will remember everything and keep them in mind.”

Noticing that every idea of his was denied and rejected, Lianyue couldn’t help but feel rather anxious, he stamped on his feet, biting his lips, “I… I just want to go out for a walk, and to take a look on the Yueban City, I swear that I will go back within one hour, and I will be fully responsible for myself if I encounter something.”

Things had developed to this point. If Song Qinghan still failed to figure out the key point of the whole matter currently, he would be a fool.

Therefore, even though Lianyue had already put his position as low as possible, Song Qinghan gritted his teeth and said, “No way! You should stay within the house obediently until you finally deliver the baby, I will allow nowhere for you to go!”

Probably Lianyue would choose to follow Song Qinghan’s words if he wasn’t informed that both Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu would go to the battlefield in the near future. But since he knew the fact, he wasn’t that kind of willing to stay still obediently, and in the meantime the emotion was shown right on his face, he then grumbled, “That, that will be bad to the kid…”

Suddenly, something seemed to occur to Wu Dahu, and he dropped a hint to Song Qinghan, and then uttered slowly, “Since then, Han will go with you, they want to purchase something by the way, right?”

Song Qinghan immediately reacted and continued, “Right, right, how come I just forget such a thing, I will go for a shopping anyway. Stay here for a minute, we will go there together.”

Well, what he had thought was indeed to resort to any possible means to impede Lianyue from doing something, so as to force Lianyue to confess. It was totally out of his negligence that he in fact could join in the matter itself and explore what Lianyue was going to do.

Fortunately, Wu Dahu came up with such an idea in time. Otherwise, it all of them forced Lianyue to be over anxious, no one would be able to predict the consequence.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Lianyuan’s eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and accepted it. But the way how he looked at Wu Dahu turned to be with a bit grievance. If Wu Dahu didn’t possess sturdiness in his personalities, probably he would think that he himself was completely a badass with flagrance.

After everything was settled down, Song Qinghan went back his room and prepared something he might need. After a brief moment of pondering, he finally decided to bring a dagger with him on his back, in case that if he really encountered something, he would have ability to fight back.

Yuan Wenxuan and Hualian of course should stay at home to take care of Little Shitou. After all, someone should still stay at home anyway. In addition, none of the others was trustworthy.

When he was ready to go out, Lianyue had already regained his peace in mind. He followed Song Qinghan in behind cleverly.

Song Qinghan originally intended to size up Lianyue’s expression on face, so he naturally wouldn’t allow Lianyue to follow in behind. Until they finally reached the Main Street, Song Qinghan reached out to pull him over and walked abreast, in the name of “protecting him”.

On the other side, Lianyue was quite calm himself and just browsing around the scenery of the Yueban City. It seemed that he didn’t even feel any shamefulness to expose his ignorance and ask the passers-by about anything occasionally.

“The unique location seems to bring such a unique benefit to the Yueban City which makes it develop to be like this. What is worth mentioning is that the Grand Coordinator here should take part of the credits for this achievement.”

Song Qinghan nodded as a response to Lianyue’s praise, and echoed, “True, I heard that the Grand Coordinator here in this city hasn’t married yet in order to devote himself into governing the city. He has been as a single man for dozens of years, hard-working without daring to turn a cold shoulder to everything mattered to the fate of the city.”

In the eyes of Lianyue there shone a trace of complicated emotion. Without any ups and downs, he said gently, “It would be a whole-life luck if one is going to greet such a great person personally… Oh, by the way, you’ve been here for quite a long while now, Mistress, have the Grand Coordinator once set any banquets to treat you?”

Song Qinghan shook his head and laughed, “Come on, Dahu is nothing more than an ordinary Imperial Guard, how come he is that kind of qualified to get such an honor to attend the Grand Coordinator’s specially-made banquet? Furthermore… I have never heard that the Grand Coordinator had set any forms of banquet before, I don’t know whether it doesn’t exist or we just don’t know anything about it.”

Lianyue nodded thoughtfully, the next moment he caught a glimpse of a vendor selling sugar-coated haws on a stick, and couldn’t help but swallow, “Mistress, do you want some sugar-coated haws?”

The vendor seemed to have catch the sight of Lianyue, he then pulled out a stick of sugar-coated haws in enthusiasm, yelling aloud, “Sugar-coated haws, sugar-coated haws, sweet and sour sugar-coated haws, two copper coins for one stick! Ayo, no charge if it tastes not good!”

Song Qinghan glanced at Lianyue strangely. Seeing that the eagerness in Lianyue’s eyes was outflowing, he stretched forth his hand and delivered six copper coins to the vendor, and then uttered calmly, “Give me three sticks.”

“Mistress, I can’t eat that much…” Lianyue waved his hand and uttered

Hearing him said so, Song Qinghan delivered a wry smile and responded, “Are you that confident that I bought them all for you?”

With a complete shock, Lianyue’s expression forze on his face. Luckily, he regained his sense very quickly, and he tried to put on a smile to cover up his embarrassment, “Sorry, sorry, Little Shitou, Wenxuan and Hualian. I’m out of the list.”

Noticing that Lianyue didn’t show any grievance on face at all, Song Qinghan praised over his capability of self-control. After he received the sugar-coated haws sticks, he passed one of them to Lianyue and laughed slightly, “I was just teasing you. Little Shitou is still young, how is he able to eat that? But by the way, don’t eat too much, or they will hurt your teeth.”

Lianyue was completely shocked standing there, and then quickly took over that stick of sugar-coated haws, and then answered happily, “Thank you, Mistress! Can we go over there beside the city wall? I heard that the Grand Coordinator will go there sometimes.”

This request was nothing, so Song Qinghan subconsciously intended to agree, yet he didn’t know why the words would suddenly turn at the moment he gave a response, “Why are you so eager to meet the Grand Coordinator? Should it be that he got something worth seeing?”

Lianyue smiled and shook his head, and then lowered down his head, murmuring, “I, I am just curious, I wonder how silly a man could be to give up his marriage just for a city.”

Song Qinghan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Didn’t you praise him just then? But now you’re criticizing him saying that he is silly? Why?”

Noticing that probably Lianyue would cry again if he urged him so tight, Song Qinghan laughed and then uttered generously, “Alright then, let’s go over there. I am also curious about how the so-called ‘silly’ man will look like.”
